Thank you so much. I live alone with my newborn and felt unsafe with the top lock only. I was able to fix my door myself. 👍

Thank you!! My husband just left for his work rotation and my toddlers door started doing this lol. Guess I get to learn a new skill today.

You failed to explain how to fix a doorknob that doesn’t open. The latch will not retreat into the knob

My front lock was sticking really bad, I had to turn the handle different ways to get the door to open, so I did this, and it's working great right now. I only had D-40 at the house, so I used that. Just a tip also, it's a lot easier when you're putting the lock back in together, to only screw each screw in just a little each side, so you can see the hole where the screws go into, once both screws are in, then screw them both all the way. Great video, thanks for helping us fix things around the house!!!😃
